S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The Legends of the Zone Trilogy lands on Xbox and PlayStation today
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The Legends of the Zone Trilogy has made a surprise launch on Xbox and PlayStation consoles today.
The trilogy (which is out on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility) features Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, and Call of Pripyat. This is the first time these three beloved PC titles have made their way to consoles. PC owners can grab the three S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games at a discount during Steam’s weeklong sale, which runs until March 11.
The trilogy arrives months before the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which will arrive on PC and Xbox Series X/S on September 5. The title was originally slated for an early 2024 release. GSC Game World PR Specialist Zakhar Bocharov said this in an interview with Xbox Wire about launching the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy on consoles:
“We wanted to bring S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to consoles for quite some time, and we worked closely with our trusted partners at Mataboo to make that happen. Despite the new release date for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, we decided to keep S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Legends of the Zone Trilogy in early 2024 to give the players some time to complete the originals before hopping into the sequel. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is a direct continuation of the plot and a standalone title, but obviously knowing the previous events and characters would help you to enjoy certain story moments, nods, and Easter eggs better.”
